Powering Up the Camera
The mirror stays ON for over 1 second when reverse is disengaged, and if the camera is connected
to the reverse tail lamp then the screen will flash Blue. If the camera does not power up instantly when
the vehicle is shifted into reverse, the screen will not detect the camera and will not display an image.
For these reasons we recommend that the camera be connected to Ignition (+).
Test Mirror
Set parking brake, start vehicle, and shift into Reverse. If image appears in the LCD display, all
connections have been made properly.
Temporary Monitor Manual Shut Down:
If while in reverse you require to turn OFF the camera monitor, simply press and release the
POWER button on the back side of the mirror. (Note: once reverse is disengaged the mirror will go
back to normal operation and will turn ON next time reverse is engaged).
NOTE 1: Mirror Voltage Requirements
The supplied Mirror must see a voltage of 12.5v DC or better on the Reverse trigger lead. In the event that the signal is
too low the signal quality may be affected drastically when the vehicle is running.
To correct low Reverse signal power, the voltage must be raised using a Single Pull Dual Throw Relay.
Relay Wiring:
30
To mirror Reverse trigger (Green lead)
85 Chassis Ground
86 Reverse trigger from vehicle (reverse lamp)

Connect the rest of the Mirror Harness wires as instructed above.
NOTE 2: For Ford vehicles only
If the vehicle has a separate display on the IP for the compass and it displays “– –“after the OE mirror is removed,
further steps are necessary in order for it to function again. You must supply two 9’ 20-gauge wires (recommended: one
red and one yellow). Splice the wires to the location from which you removed the vehicle’s mirror connector and splice
their opposite ends to the vehicle’s mirror connector that will be relocated along with the mirror circuit board. For more
